DMX Start Address - The starting (first) address for the load in the DMX network. If desired, the starting address for each load can be modified. To modify, Savant recommends the changes be made using the RDM Patcher tab. The matrix in the RDM Patcher tab gives a clear indication of the addressing used on each lighting load.
9. Blueprint - Smart Groups Each lighting load in the Savant Smart Groups window is automatically added to its own smart group and each smart group will generate an entity such as a slider or button in the TrueControl II or Pro App. However, additional loads can be added to each smart group. If more than one lighting load is added to a smart group, all loads added to that group will be controlled by one slider or button in the App.
If the lighting data table already contains an entry for the box that is checked, that entry is updated with the new Sync Data Table for Controller: Savant System Host information. When the box is selected it will add/rename/delete entries in the lighting data table to match the current wireless lighting configuration.
With the configuration complete, it can now saved and uploaded to the Savant System Host. IMPORTANT! When connected to the OLA Server, all control to the Savant System is lost. Be sure to close out of the OLA Server before uploading a configuration to the Host.
With the upload complete, the Panel Bridge Controller lighting network will either create a new Lighting Service or be added to an existing Lighting Service. For information on testing the PBC, see the Pro 8 App Lighting Service User Guide (009-1696-xx) available on the Savant Customer Community.

Managing IP Addresses To ensure that the IP Address will not change due to a power outage, a static IP Address or DHCP reservation should be configured. Savant recommends using DHCP reservation within the router. By using this method, static IP Addresses for all devices can be managed from a single UI avoiding the need to access devices individually.
